Some State Legislators are looking at introducing a bill on regulating homeschooling.  The legislation would increase reporting requirements for those homeschooling their children and strengthen penalties for not doing so.

A Democrat from Lombard sponsored the bill.  Supporters say the measures would properly regulate homeschooling and provide more information on how many people across the state are being homeschooled. 

Those who oppose the bill say it is unreasonable and overly intrusive.  These representatives include Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville), who says it will lead to people leaving the state

The Education Policy Committee is expected to hear the bill Wednesday morning.
